Solution : Runtime error ‘3061’: Too few Parameters. Expected 3

A very common cause of this error is Form References in a query.

For example, if your query looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM YourTable
WHERE YourField = Forms!YourForm!YourTextboxName

This query will work perfectly when run from the database window. However, the reference to the form control will cause the “Too Few Parameters” Error if that same query is called from VBA.

To resolve this, all form references must be evaluated seperately from the query.

To help you further with this, we would need to see the SQL for  qryEditNewSummary.
